    Several computers colleagues and I use for live shows are hackintosh and always have been. I wouldn’t dream of running Windows for those - I’m not crazy - but it is the right choice for the tour in question as the Apple hardware overheats under load.

    As for the 16GB of RAM, please see the link above where 32GB is recommended by Avid for Pro Tools.

    In addition, if the iMac Pro starts at five thousand dollars US... I can only imagine what a new Mac Pro model would run. $10,000 for 16GB RAM base model?
